"beta, please don't think about me, I have lived more than half of my life, but you have the whole life ahead of you to live, go back to your Ankit ," said Priyanka's father.

Priyanka: papa, I have got my whole family in you. You're not just my father but mumy , brother , sister and everything. How can I leave all these relations for any one person?

Priyanka's father: but beta, I can't see you like this. I'm your father, I can see the sadness behind your smiling face. You can lie to the whole world but not me. No one can make you happy except Ankit.

She holds her father's face , " papa, look at me, am I looking sad? She asked smiling. You are here with me That's all I need.

But beta, until when you stay with me. One day you have to marry someone.

Priyanka: no papa, I don't want to marry anyone. "You want to send me away from you?" She said making a sad face.

Priyanka's father : he puts his hand on her head, beta, you have already suffered a lot because of me now I don't want to become a burden on you. I wish I were to die.

Tears start rolling out from her eyes, she hugs him tightly. Papa, don't you dare to say this again. I can't live without you. "I have nobody except you here," she said sobbing.

They both wipe each other's tears. " I'm sorry beta, i promise I would never say this again, but Priyanka you have to agree with me one thing"

Priyanka: yes, boliye na papa. I can do anything for you.

Priyanka's father: beta, please marry Rahul. He knows everything about you and Ankit and I think he likes you. He was the only one who stood with us in this condition till now. He will always keep you happy.

Priyanka: papa , what are you saying ? I'm sorry but I can't do this. Rahul and I are only good friends. I will always be thankful to him but I have never thought about him that way.

Papa is it necessary for a girl to marry ? Papa , I know you want to see me happy , but trust me I'm happy.

Priyanka's father: thik hai beta, if that's what you want. My blessings are always with you.

Priyanka goes into her room, opens her almirah and takes a photo from the drawer.

"How can I marry someone else, when I still love you Ankit," she said.

She touches his face through his photo and tears start rolling out from her eyes. I'm sorry Ankit, I know you hate me, but I didn't have any other options.

Thought we can never be together , but you will always be in my thoughts , heart and soul. There is no day when I don't think about you. I will always love you Ankit please forgive me.

" You don't even know that we have lost a child," she said touching her belly. But I always want your happiness.

Suddenly her phone starts ringing , it is ankit's mother's phone.

Ankit's mother: hello Priyanka beta, how are you ?

Priyanka: aunty, I am fine. Aunty...

Ankit's mother: haan, bolo beta, ruk kyun gayi.

Priyanka: aunty wo...how is Ankit , wo thik to hai na?

Ankit's mother: beta, he... But before she could say anything , ankit's father snatched her phone.

"Hello poor girl, Ankit is very much happy in his life and you have good news , Ankit is ready to marry Kanika and you know what , right now they both are on a date," he said smirking.

Priyanka was completely devastated after hearing about ankit's marriage.

"No...no I know you're lying," she said sobbing.

Okay fine , I am lying but your aunty she can't lie to you, right? Why don't you ask her and he gives the phone to her.

Hello aunty please tell me he is lying , please aunty.

Ankit's mother's heart was arching seeing her condition but she can't be able to do anything.

"Beta, he is not lying ," she said.

Ankit's father has taken the phone from her again.
"I guess I have given you a lot of updates for today and he cuts her phone."

"Think about Priyanka and Ankit before talking to her again," he said to his wife angrily.

" I should be happy that he has moved on, but why is it hurting like hell," she said to herself.

No...no I can't be so selfish , love is all about giving. I always want him to be happy and now if he is happy with Kanika it shouldn't hurt me.

Kanika: c'mon Ankit it's been 2 hours since we are here but you are not talking about anything.

Ankit: "I still love her," he said looking straight into her eyes. Yaar I have tried a lot but I can't be able to forget her. She was everything to me , why did she do this to me ?

Kanika: she holds ankit's hand , I know everything  about you and priyanka and trust me I consider you as my friend before my fiance. I want to help you to get out of this. Trust me I won't force you for anything.

We can continue as friends even after our marriage.

Ankit: Kanika I am sorry but I can't give you the rights of my wife. Why you want to spoil your life ?

Kanika: i am not expecting anything from you Ankit even if your friendship is enough for me. It's not always a physical relationship , sometimes emotional and mental connection is enough.

When you still love someone this much when she leaves you then think how much you will give for our friendship.

Ankit: are you sure?

Kanika: hundred percent sure yaar And they both smile a little.

" Priyanka you have to come yaar, it's my special day , I am getting married." Said Priyanka's friend rashmeet.

Priyanka: rashu yaar please try to understand I can't leave my papa as he is not well.

Rashmeet: pari it's about only two days. Please yar if you don't come I will not marry. Uncle please make her understand.

Priyanka's father: haha, Priyanka beta I am absolutely fine you should go , she is your best friend.

Priyanka: but papa...suddenly Rahul enters her house.

Rahul: don't worry Priyanka , i will stay with him. You should go and enjoy it.

Priyanka: but Rahul you have already done so much for us.

Rahul: have you gone mad? Stupid you and uncle are like my family. Priyanka agrees to go to rashmeet marriage.

"Uncle , aunty you all should come to my marriage and ankit's friend karan gives his marriage card to them.

Ankit's father: sorry beta, i can't come I have a meeting but don't worry Ankit is with you.

Ankit: i am so happy for you at least someone gets his love by the way what is the name of my bhabhi?

Karan: rashmeet and you're coming okay and please take Kanika with you.

Ankit: why Kanika?

Karan: c'mon Ankit you guys are getting married in a few months, you should know each other and she will also feel good.

Ankit: okay I will take her with me.
